Hunter Henry is once again expected to lead the Patriots' depth chart this season, and fantasy managers should expect him to finish somewhere between 10th and 20th at his position. This range of potential outcomes might seem wide, but in reality, especially at tight end, it can come down to one or two touchdowns over the entire year. There are only a handful of tight ends who make a significant difference for their fantasy squads, and beyond that, it's a guessing game on which player will sneak into the end zone each week.
Henry lacks the physical ability to be an elite difference-maker at this point in his career, and his questionable health history adds to the risk. Additionally, he is still stuck in an inefficient New England offense that is projected to finish near the bottom of the league in both pass attempts and efficiency.
With Austin Hooper still on the roster and taking more snaps than ideal, Henry doesn't offer enough upside to be a strong fantasy option this season. While he may have a few games with big numbers, the inconsistency in his performance means you might not have him in your lineup when he has that magical two-touchdown game.
Henry is a fine TE2, particularly in leagues where you start more than one tight end per week, but otherwise, he's someone you probably won't regret avoiding in drafts this season.
